Seems the actor was in town with his wife Jennifer Garner for a romantic getaway before he heads to Detroit to spend months filming the new Batman movie, but the lure of the tables was just too strong.

On Tuesday night Ben was playing blackjack at a high rollers table and apparently was doing very well. Too well according to security. He was swarmed by staff who according to sources had been informed Affleck was an "advantage player" after being spotted counting cards.

Counting cards isn't illegal, but it is frowned upon in casinos and if they catch you they can ban you for life. That's exactly what happened to Ben. Security was kind enough to call him a car service that took him back to hotel, so at least he wasn't literally thrown out on his butt.
